I want to suggest that llamas should spawn also in the savannas like in minecraft vanilla. Cause actually they only spawn in ascalon mountains and i think is unfair, ascalon have most of the animals when this are supposed to spawn in others biomes that are outside of ascalon

Where are you getting the idea that Ascalon has most of the animals? In terms of unique animals, Kalros has 3, Ascalon has 3, and Garama has 2. It used to be 2,2,2, but polar bears were added, which went to Kalros, then llamas were added, which went to Ascalon. I'd assume that the next passive mob that's added to Minecraft would be put in Garama.
 
I'd hardly call mooshrooms a unique enough animal to separate it from cows. It has the same drops as a cow except you can also get mushroom soup from it. It's why they're included in the embargo policy on Ascalon. I mean, if you're gonna do that you might as well include the 3 tamed cat variations for ocelots.

Biologically speaking Cows and Mooshrooms can't reproduce, so they're not the same species. Different cat variations can reproduce with each other.
 
Biologically speaking you can use shears on mooshrooms to cut the mushrooms off, turning them into a regular cow. So they're the same species, no?
 
I only said that as a response to the "biological" argument. Like I said, I don't think mooshrooms are unique enough to be considered a separate unique animal from cows. They're exactly the same aside from the mushroom soup. Do you really think that mooshrooms are as unique to cows as rabbits are to cows?
 
Biologically speaking you can't change them into cows without genetically altering them. :P
 
Is getting a haircut genetically altering yourself? You're shearing the mushrooms off, not performing gene therapy lol
 
A "haircut" that changes its natural color, breeding ability, and the fluids it's body naturally produces. :o
 
I mean, this is loka after all. No animals breed here.
And also, you know...

I dont care if the mushroom are considered cows or not, basically Ascalon and Kalros have more species than Garama, when in Garama the unique animal that we can use is the pig, cause the ocelots are really (VERY) useless. And after all Llamas were designed to live in the savannas, and also that as a said Garama has been always in a disadvantage with the animals resources. I think the most fair thing we could do is make them spawn in the savanna also
 
We're talking about llamas. Llamas live in the mountains of South America, not the dry African savannas.

Anyways it is just a suggestion, im not going to reply anymore, i think that i have shown enough valid arguments
 
Turns out that llamas are actually mainly confined to the andes, although their ancestors were less confined the llama and it's ancestors who were on north america (not counting it's direct ancestor from which camels also evolved) were primarily mountain dwelling creatures. It actually makes sense for llamas to be primarily confined to the mountains of ascalon, cause although they are very hardy animals they primarily lived in more humid environments at higher altitudes where vegetation was more plentiful.

As for mooshrooms, it is very possible that what you are doing is nearly changing the appearance of the mooshroom to the point that it's own child no longer recognizes it. It could be that mooshrooms see the mushrooms on a cow as a sort of like how baby gulls see the red spot on an adult gull's beak. It serves as a visual cue to the baby that the gull that "hey this organism will most likely feed me ok food", which in an environment like the mushroom isles which probably has a few toxic plants it is not improbable that behaviour like this may have been an adaptation that the local populace developed through natural selection. Maybe brown mushrooms are poisonous to mooshrooms, and so the red color could not only just be for the baby but for the adults signalling what is safe to eat and what isn't. Changes like this would not necessarily mean that mooshrooms are different from cows, only that mooshrooms have slightly adapted to a different environment enabling them to better survive


I had originally thought that llamas lived in the andes as well as some of the outlying plains, but after fact checking, and re-checking my sources I drew a different conclusion.
